Habs referee debate: Go ask Alice?

Sometimes we find a comment so funny, we want to share it with others. After hearing Terry DiMonte and Pierre Houde on CHOM-FM this morning discussing the Ron MacLean foot-in-mouth comment about NHL referees from Quebec officiating Habs games, I sought out a news story to learn more . . . and found a Globe and Mail report.

Apparently, during a three-way discussion in the second intermission of the Habs-Lightning game last night, things got a wee bit uncomfortable when CBC reporter Elliotte Friedman defended the professionalism of Quebec referees while Ron was putting his foot in his mouth. The third person was P.J. Stock, well-known to Montrealers and a former host on CHOM’s morning program. And, yes, he was as off-the-wall on CHOM as all the other morning hosts are on my fave radio station — I think you have to be on a, umm, special plane to do the morning shift on CHOM, which rocks, by the way!

So, according to the Globe and Mail report, it was P.J. — yes, P.J. — who attempted to steer the debate between Ron and Elliotte away from language by changing the subject, and after a couple of attempts, managed to do so.

And now the comment that has me giggling (I had to give you the context first, sorry) while I sit in my housecoat drinking my first cup of coffee this morning, listening to CHOM.
